October 31, 2024,Epping Underground station to Woodford Underground station (via the forest)

Easily accessible from central London via the Central Line. This walk comprises 90+% forest (not parkland) with the chance of sighting wild deer, circling two ancient encampments and amazing ancient forest scenery. Good paths too
